From the audience, all the characters in the ice fairy tale seem soft and fluffy. But what are their “fur coats” actually made of?
Yes, viewers see that the costumes are made of fur, but that's not all.true. In addition to fur, they are made of carbon fiber, aluminum, stainless steel and fiberglass. And our costumes also have additional electronic motors that work like facial muscles and allow each character to change their "facial" expressions. Are the costumes heavy? How difficult is it for the actors to move around in them?We try to make costumes as much as possible.safe and light, however, weight ranges from 3 to 100 kg - in the case of mammoth costumes. And it’s pretty hard for artists to do that. Although there are women among them - the proportions of costumes allow it. Moreover, we found out that if a woman actress has enough strength to bear the weight of a suit, then she will move better than many men in it. Perhaps the actors need to train for a long time to get used to such "clothes"? And how to breathe in it?It usually takes about 5 weeks to train. Actors breathe through special vents that are located throughout the costume. Each costume exists in a single copy? And if something happens to him?We try to make spare costumes for each character, but to be honest, we have one mammoth costumes one by one.
